Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren) novel Chapter 235

Astonished and troubled, the secretary, Natty Hale, explained, "Mrs. Zachman, Mr. Zachman is really busy. The meeting today is extremely important.

"I think you should wait until Mr. Zachman is done with his business. Perhaps tonight—"

Katrina interrupted impatiently, "That's enough. I don't care if you're telling the truth. I just need you to relay what I said earlier to your chairman.

"30 minutes is all he has. If he doesn't show up, I'll look for him in the office."

After saying that, Katrina hung up without giving Natty a chance to explain. She was sure Natty would not have answered Carlisle's phone without his permission.

It was clear that Carlisle wanted to brush her off. Regardless, time and patience were all she had that day. He couldn't hide from her forever.

…

Meanwhile, there was a depressing atmosphere in the chairman's office of Zachman Group. After placing the phone on the desk, Natty stole a glance at Carlisle's face and forced a smile. "Mr. Zachman, Mrs. Zachman hung up…"

Carlisle's expression was grim beyond words. Earlier, Natty had put the phone on loudspeaker, and he heard every word Katrina said.

He had given Katrina a chance to change her mind, but the latter completely ignored it. Clenching his teeth, he glared icily at the secretary and warned, "You know what you should and shouldn't say, don't you?"

Natty looked as if she was on the verge of tears. She did not think that answering a phone call on Carlisle's behalf would lead her to discover such a major matter as Katrina demanding a divorce.

Judging by Carlisle's behavior, he clearly couldn't let Katrina go. Otherwise, he wouldn't be avoiding her like that.

But rumor had it that Carlisle liked…

Natty quickly snapped out of her thought when she met Carlisle's stern gaze.

She promised hurriedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zachman. My lips are sealed."
